To Fellow Men - particularly young men (like me...
There are some things I want you to know.
These are things that every guy should know at some point of time in our life. Some of us, like me, have done rather stupid things in our life, and thus we know this a little earlier. Some of us find it out later, be it the easy way or the hard way. The hard way is what i went through - the easy way is what I’m going to tell you so that you...

Lasting Thoughts
It has been on my mind for a while, this idea that we are not behaving, not living in the fullest that we are meant to. We are missing something, akin to Aragon denying his throne, Achilles denying his fighting ability or Peter denying Jesus. There is something more, and we’re not even trying to get it back.
I think this has been robbed from us - that we do not see the glory that (if you...

Destiny
We were meant to be a child of The Father, a soldier of The Warrior, a scribe of The Romantic, a seer of The Sage, a follower of The Master, and a beloved of The Lover. Some of us all at the same time, some of us one by one - the roles may overlap like a timeline or they may be part of a venn diagram, but it is what we are.
Some will exhibit stronger roles than others. Don’t let them look...

RELEVANT Magazine - Everything Needs Discernment →
LifeWay’s right: We need a warning. And the one they distribute with some books is a pretty good one to start with. Maybe they should stick it in every book. Or, better yet, print that advisory on a massive banner and hang it outside every store:
We want you to know that everything in here might be wrong. Exercise discernment.

Midnight
The questions keep buzzing in my head, brought once again by the dark.
Did I do something wrong? What was it? Is something wrong with me? Am I that different? Why am I that different? Why do I feel ostracized and ridiculed for being who I am? Is it rational?
And again I have to try and shut them out. I must remember that this is a battle I will win. Not because I can but because it has already...

Knowing the Wrong Game
Some time back there was this little girl about 4 years old that used to come and watch the bunch of us play squash. She was pretty smart - and so we made a game out of when the other pair of people were playing - we’d decide who we’d want to tease in the match and every time that particular player lost a point we’d clap and get her to clap along with us. :D
The interesting...

Stamping God’s Approval By Matt Bancroft
“Many will say to me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name and in your name drive out demons and in your name perform many miracles?’ Then I will tell them plainly, ‘I never knew you. Away from me, you evildoers!’”
Matthew 7:22-23, NIV
I think sometimes we as Christians think we have a God stamp and we can go around stamping His...

Findings: Apprehension and Comprehension →
Apprehension is what happens when you make contact with something, most often through your senses. Comprehension is when your mind wraps around something and understands it.

Movie Review: The Housemaid
And so I was kindly offered two tickets to go watch this Korean show “The Housemaid” by omy.sg - and promptly snapped them gleefully up!
Let me quantify that I’m not a fan of Korean shows or dramas. I think I’ve had enough real life drama already - but when I read the reviews of this film, I noticed this little bit:
starring Cannes Film Festival Best Actress Jeon Do-Yeon...
